  • A Man for All Seasons is a play by Robert Bolt based on the life of Sir Thomas More. An early form of the play had been written for BBC Radio in 1954, and a one-hour live television version starring Bernard Hepton was produced in 1957 by the BBC, but after Bolt's success with The Flowering Cherry, he reworked it for the stage. It was first performed in London opening at the Globe Theatre (now Gielgud Theatre) on 1 July 1960. It later found its way to Broadway, enjoying a critically and commercially successful run of over a year. It has had several revivals, and was subsequently made into a multi-Academy Award-winning 1966 feature film and a 1988 television movie. The plot is based on the historical events leading up to the execution of More, the 16th-century Chancellor of England, who refused to endorse Henry VIII's wish to divorce his wife Catherine of Aragon, who did not bear him a son, so that he could marry Anne Boleyn, the sister of his former mistress. The play portrays More as a man of principle, envied by rivals such as Thomas Cromwell and loved by the common people and by his family. (en)

  • Dráma is ea A Man for All Seasons leis an drámadóir Sasanach . Déantar cur síos sa dráma seo ar chás Thomas More, agus é ag iarraidh gan géilleadh d'fhorlámhas an Rí Anraí VIII ar an Eaglais Chaitliceach i Sasana, san 16ú haois. Cé gur cur síos drámata é an dráma seo, tá sé bunaithe ar chuid mhaithe dá raibh á rá agus á scríobh ag More go stairiúil. Rinneadh scannán de sa bhliain 1966, le Paul Scofield i bpáirt More, agus bhí Robert Bolt féin páirteach in ullmhú an scéil mar scannán. Thuill an scannán slám mór de ghradaim an Acadaimh. (ga)
